Abstract

A dual clutch transmission includes a first and second input shaft, an output shaft, a dual clutch having a first clutch and a second clutch, a first and second gear transmission mechanisms, and a control device connected to an accelerator opening degree sensor, detecting an accelerator opening degree, and a rotational speed sensor, detecting a rotational speed of an engine, and is provided with a pre-shift control device pre-selecting the shift stage gear set for establishing the shift stage, which is one stage upper or lower than the shift stage established by the selected shift stage gear set from one of the first and second gear transmission mechanisms, when values of the accelerator opening degree, the rotational speed, and the rotation acceleration, becomes equal to or more than predetermined upper shift stage pre-shift setting values or equal to or less than predetermined lower shift stage pre-shift setting values.
